“Boke and Tsukkomi” is a comedy duo routine that roughly translates over to the funny guy/straight guy act seen in a lot of Japanese gag humour… A Western equivalent that’s somewhat close in meaning is the wise guy/straight guy routine. The main point is to have the “boke” say something funny/witty/stupid etc. and the “tsukkomi” retorts back with common sense/puzzlement/a fed up response etc. Though it’s not limited to these types of scripts either.
